I can imagine a future where it will be possible for a family to host their own essential services ... There got to be something between homelabs and cloud services bc the gap is too big.

Not quite there yet but Yunohost is a fantastic attempt to get closer to this ideal. Install the OS - and the basic self-hostic-use-case apps are all just there to click and install. From Immich to Kodi to Wordpress and what not.

With IPv6 (and/or NAT-forwarding) it was already possible to host stuff.

However, E-mail's horrible protocols and spam-blocking security monopolies mean you're stuck with one of the big cloud providers, even if you could automate/solve e-mail server complications.


Not true. Been hosting my own email for years and only prblem is delivery to some MS hosted services (usually hotmail)

> I can imagine a future where it will be possible for a family to host their own essential services

Exactly. Even something as seemingly mundane as hosting your own email is a major challenge.


Good luck. To have something that a regular family could use would require remote access from the company for troubleshooting, updates, maintenance.

So you get all of the downsides of cloud hosting (company employees can still remote in), with none of the upsides (all the hardware is now geographically distributed, instead of one big building) with the privilege of paying for it instead of being "free" like facebook/google.


Honestly if your programming language does not compile to wasm I don't care for it. That's my new rule.


> We do want WASM to be working really well, so if you’re interested in writing something in WASM please reach out to the C3 development team and we’ll help you get things working.


It does compile to WASM.


Well the only thing this post proves is that it's not because people call you CTO that you actually are one. While I do think CTOs should keep a pulse on code quality, process and dev experience, I don't think this is the way to do it.


I miss the era when the internet was more fun like this


Seems the creation date of the domain was 2025-10-08, so you're in luck, this particular fun exists and was created in this era!


Google is an adtech company and not a search company so this is normal


I wonder how much china will benefit from this?


why cant we downvote links ? this is an absolute waste of time.


I good a few good laughs out of this post, but I still hope it's just elaborate trolling.


Greed ... Shareholder value became more important than anything else, and this is nothing wait until AI and robotics deliver on what they're promising.


Okay can we get back delicio.us now ?!


Honestly it's much cheaper to just pay for a VPN and setup a homelab ... And the best of all : no damn ads!
